I have been very happy with DuckDuckGo, and it has helped me break free of routines that I did not feel safe with. Especially the small flame icon that would clear all history, cookies and cache from websites that are not “fireproofed” was great!

But today I had to do a quick example on Tinkercad (3D browser design tool) and it was so slow! I thought that my PC maybe was busy doing something (yeah its an older PC but not THAT old), but when I open the same page on my now parked Opera browser, everything went smoothly.

I am ok with using Opera, or any other browser for 3D work, as I don’t really do all that much of it, but I just feel gutted to find out that my now favorite browser sucks so bad at something, not to mention the Microsoft Edge processes when that is the last of any browser that I would choose to use

EDIT: I found out that this was due to hardware acceleration was off, on my DuckDuckGo browser. I had turned it off, because the fonts on websites looked blurry when it was on. The solution was to turn off antialising on the Nvidia control panel, and restart the PC. It is now working well!

    I think the point is other commenters saw the response and went on to suggest Firefox further. So the fact that they copy pasted a response that commenters were not only aware of but commenting to address, causes the copy paste to seem annoying and like the OP is purposefully ignoring all feedback and spamming the same narrow view. In a thread ostensibly implying they need help or advice, OP is ignoring most help and advice given because one one niche feature that can be replicated in other browsers.

    At least that’s how it comes off to me.

      For me it sounds more like: i like these features, what your option can offer, let’s discuss

      I mean, other commenters can read the post, they can see other options, but they all just flood “Firefox”, with no explanation or comparison, etc

      To a very lazy and uninformative message, there a very lazy and uninformative reply
